Magellan Warden

In the world of Aethelgard, destiny is forged by the "Skill" granted by the heavens. Legendary heroes wield S-Rank powers that can sunder mountains, while commoners make do with simple abilities to till the fields. For Kael Virein, his destiny was a curse. Branded "Skill-less" on his sixteenth birthday, he becomes the ultimate failure—an object of scorn and pity in a society that worships power. Cast out and destined for a life of mediocrity, Kael is ready to accept his bleak future. But what the world saw as a flaw was, in fact, a power beyond their comprehension. Kael doesn't possess a Skill because he isn't a user of the world's system—he is its Administrator. He can see the very code of reality. While others struggle to master swordsmanship, Kael can edit an enemy's status to [State: Deceased]. While mages chant complex spells, he can rewrite the laws of physics with a single thought. The mockery turns to shock, the shock to terror, and the terror to absolute reverence. Follow Kael as he embarks on a journey from a reviled outcast to a living god, turning legendary swords to dust, deleting cataclysmic spells from existence, and taming world-ending beasts with the ease of closing a program. His absolute, terrifying power becomes a beacon, drawing the most powerful and beautiful women in the realm to his side: a proud ice princess whose worldview he shatters, a seductive demoness who finds his power the ultimate aphrodisiac, and a brilliant scholar who seeks to understand the "glitch" that is Kael. But with every line of code he rewrites, Kael uncovers a deeper, more sinister secret: his world is not what it seems. Aethelgard is a cage, and its "gods" are its wardens. To protect his new home and the women who have pledged their hearts to him, Kael must confront the very creators of his reality. They mocked him for being born skill-less… But he’s not bound by the world. He’s the one who wrote it.

[You have become the master of the Warden Mansion.] [Your first quest is to refine mana from one of your maids by having intercourse with her.] [Current Quest: “The Dragon Guardian’s Predicament” – Aid Skytianeus, The Guardian of Dragons, and preserve the fragile balance between humans and dragons.] [Reward: Your mansion gains the power to travel between worlds.] Nineteen-year-old gamer Jett Talon awakens on an emperor‑sized bed to discover he now commands a mansion filled with exquisitely loyal and gorgeous maids. His first bond with Mia—an elegant elf who embodies every fantasy—ignites a storm of mana in his veins, crowning him Ruler of Heavens and Storm and unlocking the mansion’s ever‑deeper layers of magic and dungeon‑like rewards. But pleasure is only the gateway. As the new Warden, Jett must answer the summons of Skytianeus, a three‑millennia‑old dragon whose race faces extinction and open war with humanity. Taking the Guardian’s oath drags Jett into world‑spanning politics, Harbinger‑spawned catastrophes, and system quests that test strategy as fiercely as stamina. Now every passionate encounter grows his power, every awakened maid becomes a battlefield ally, and every choice tips the scales of an impending conflict. Erotica fuels the rise—but destiny demands a storm‑forged lord ready to defend two worlds, or see them both burn.

Fate is not chosen. It is carved. Eiran was never meant to be a hero. Marked by tragedy and burdened by powers he does not understand, he returns to the moment his life was shaped—the day he was forced to accept a path not his own. But when the mysterious Stone of Fate offers him a second chance, Eiran chooses a path whispered only in legends: the Warden, a bearer of all the forgotten truths—and the dangers that come with them. Beside him stands Auralia, a cunning rogue once raised by a deadly cult and now the only person he trusts. As their bond deepens into something more, so too does the shadow threatening to consume them. Hunted by monsters, haunted by gods, and pursued by the echoes of their past, they journey into a land carved by ancient canyons and darker secrets. But fate is not idle. The gods are watching. And in the silence beyond destiny, something has begun to stir. A fallen hero. A stolen prophecy. A world that will burn—or be reborn. Echoes of the Stone is the gripping first chapter in an epic fantasy saga of second chances, divine war, and the cost of rewriting your fate.

Humans once ruled the world. Now, we serve it. When the supernatural war ended, humanity lost. We became servants, tolerated but never respected. In some countries, we have rights. In America? We’re nothing. I am Cassidy Boyce, daughter of a servant, raised in the shadows of the Moon Warden’s estate. I should be invisible. I should be safe. But fate has other plans. Because I just became the mate of Kieran Duskbane, the Moon Warden of Canada—one of the most feared and ruthless werewolves alive. A human has never been chosen as a mate before. Ever. It is unheard of, impossible. And no one is happy about it. Now I am hunted. Used as a pawn. Trapped between a man I don't want and enemies who sees me as their only chance at power. I don't know what's coming next. But one thing is certain---My life is no longer my own This is Book 1 of the A New Age Trilogy. Each book follows a different forbidden romance in a world where supernatural bonds break every rule.

Vyswe'eyaga had a perfectly normal life. At the age of thirty-five, she will be among the youngest sorcerers to graduate from the Akademiya, then she would enroll at the Warden Association, and live a happy and comfortable life. It was perfect. As if to mock her, everything in her life goes awry when her country is attacked by unknown forces, out of nowhere. Luckily the Elders had prepared a contingency to protect those of her generation from the catastrophe. But then finds herself alone and thrust in a completely different era from her own many years later.

#ADVENTURE #WAR Before the fall, there was a choice. Before the monsters, there was a man. In the shadow of Mount Banahaw, deep beneath the soil, Dr. Rhane Wu—last in the bloodline of Dr. Henry Wu—awakens a system that was never meant to be touched. The Codex Prime was designed to archive life. Rhane rewires it to replace evolution. Buried in sealed tanks are hybrids, twisted fusions of predator and anomaly. Among them lies XENOVORAX, still sleeping—still dreaming. But the jungle remembers. And so does JIRUUN—a Warden-class entity born not from man, but from something older. Something watching. As global systems blink out, genetic failsafes rupture, and ARKHIVE prepares for a new host, Rhane records one final Codex entry. “We tried to resurrect the past. But the future had teeth.” This is not a tale of redemption. This is the prelude to extinction. “The world didn’t end with man. It began after him.”

Liang Zhenyu never believed in ghosts. That is, until he was assigned to Room 404—the only vacant room in the eerie, crumbling Xiao Meng Dormitory. The elevator doesn’t reach the fourth floor. The back stairwell carries incense in the air and rules whispered too late. Inside the room? Four spirits await him: a dorm warden who died in 1852, a 90s schoolgirl obsessed with Jay Chou, a grandma who feeds sleeping guests, and a red-robed woman who sweeps shadows in silence. But they aren’t the scariest part. Something—or someone—watches Zhenyu from the eastern hallway. A girl with jasmine-scented hair and a gaze that feels like a memory from another life. In this dormitory, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur. And Zhenyu must choose: survive the haunting… or uncover the truth that binds him to them— and to her. — Dark, romantic, and laced with absurdity, Dormitory on the Fourth Floor is a supernatural tale where horror and humor walk hand-in-hand, and love lingers… even after death.

In a desperate bid for control on the brink of global war, the United States launches Deospoena — a forbidden thermonuclear weapon hurled into deep space under the guise of peaceful deterrence. Its intended target: a distant galaxy. Its actual impact: the heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud, where it collides with SN 1987A, a dying star. The result? The artificial birth of a black hole—and the unmaking of everything that followed.

After living in hellish prison for 16 years, you're finally rescued. But what do you do when you soon realize that there is now a thread, a connection to the warden you've escaped from? BLURB: He could clearly see the way the water droplets ran down her back. The brown curls, almost black due to being wet, stuck to it, gave such an alluring contrast to her skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight. She turned, causing her ample breast to come into view. A single droplet hung precariously from a pebbled nipple. Was his eyesight always this sharp? It appeared like a pearl, begging to be licked away. He groaned as he could almost taste the cool freshness on his tongue before it was replaced with the heat of her flushed skin. Unzipping his jeans caused his member spring forth, drenched in the constant precum that flowed. Just the thought of sucking on her breast made him groan in frustrated desperation. He buried his face between the fleshly orbs. Biting and licking, he was pleased to see his marks on her skin. A fierce desire to possess came over him and even his wolf growled at the feeling. How is it that she smells even better that the soap she just used? Other Omegas used the same kind, yet their smell would cause his stomach to feel upset. Inhaling again, he pinning her against a tree. The same tree he was hiding behind before. Lifting her up, he devoured her lips while wrapping her long legs around his waist. Slightly bending his knees, he entered her in one deep thrust. She was hot and tight. So tight that if it wasn't for her juices, he wouldn't be able to move. Gripping himself tighter, his imagination became wild. Just thinking about her breathy moans or her screams of pleasure caused a shudder to pass through him as he came into the tissue he had thoughtfully grabbed. Why, why not just take what he so obviously wants? What's stopping him? If it were anyone else, he would have slacked his lust, had some fun, and moved on. The fact that this question ran through his mind without an answer was the reason for his pain.

In a world shrouded in perpetual winter and haunted by ancient evils, Valerius is a man forged from ice and regret. A former battlemage from a fallen kingdom, he now wanders as a mercenary, his only companion the immense and dangerous power known as the Eternal Blizzard—the ability to manifest the cold will of winter into deadly weapons and sentient constructs. Haunted by the ghost of his lost queen, Isolde, and the kingdom he failed to protect, Valerius has encased his heart in ice, his services sold to the highest bidder, his purpose reduced to a cold, transactional survival. His latest contract leads him to the remote, terror-stricken village of Oakhaven, a tiny flicker of warmth besieged by grotesque creatures crawling from the frozen mountains. What begins as a straightforward extermination job quickly unravels, revealing a far more sinister and intelligent force at play. His investigation leads him to the heart of a cursed, ancient fortress where he confronts a powerful Lich and a profane codex—a sentient book of immense power that whispers promises of godhood. In a desperate act, Valerius seals the book's power but at a catastrophic cost: the complete loss of his own magic. Stripped of his power and his very identity, Valerius is left broken and vulnerable. Forced into a state of dependency, he is cared for by Elara, Oakhaven’s compassionate healer, whose simple kindness and unwavering belief in his humanity threaten to breach the icy walls he has built around his soul. Her gift of a simple "memory stone," meant to hold a single good memory, becomes a powerful symbol of his internal conflict—the choice between the cold solitude of his past and the fragile warmth of a potential future. When it becomes clear that the book was merely a prisoner and the true source of the mountain’s corruption remains, Valerius must make a choice. No longer a mercenary fulfilling a contract, he embarks on a personal crusade to finish what he started, driven by the echoes of his past failure. Without his magic, he must venture back into the mountain, this time into a newly-revealed, even older prison known as the Citadel. Relying solely on his wits, experience, and sheer endurance, he must navigate deadly traps and overcome ancient, tragic guardians. He confronts automated sentinels, evades a monstrous, eternally suffering warden, and walks the "Bridge of a Thousand Sorrows"—a psychic gauntlet designed to shatter the soul by amplifying a traveler's own grief and regret. Echo of the Eternal Storm is a dark fantasy epic that chronicles a fallen hero's brutal quest for atonement. It is a story about the nature of strength, questioning whether true power lies in the ability to command winter's fury or in the resilience of the human spirit to endure unimaginable suffering, confront its own ghosts, and choose connection over solitude, even at the greatest possible cost.

Seraphina D’Lorien was raised to lead with grace, bound by duty, and destined to carry on her noble house’s legacy. As the Duchess of House D’Lorien and wife to the ambitious Alaric Vessant, she was meant to be a symbol of stability in a crumbling empire. Instead, she was accused of treason, chained at the pyre, and sentenced to burn. The empire turned its back. Her husband watched in silence. Her cousin Evelyne wept in public, but behind her tears was a smile no one else noticed. And only Evelyne knew that Seraphina was carrying a child. That secret died in the fire. Or so they thought. But Seraphina did not stay dead. She awakens in her chambers, unburned, unbound, and alive. Everything around her is exactly as it was, except now, she remembers everything. The lies. The betrayal. The flame. And the child she never got to protect. With no one aware of what truly happened, Seraphina pretends to resume her former life. But she no longer trusts, no longer hopes, and no longer believes justice will come on its own. By day, she smiles at her husband’s side. By night, she stalks the empire’s shadows, gathering secrets, unraveling documents, and finding cracks in the system that tried to erase her. Her quest leads her to Caelan Vorenthal, the Warden General, an enigmatic, masked warrior with no tolerance for corruption and a past as shadowed as her own. What begins as cautious cooperation becomes something deeper, as Seraphina uncovers a conspiracy stretching back years. Her marriage had been arranged not for love, but as a calculated maneuver. Her family’s fall was no accident. It was orchestrated. Her life, her title, even her pain were all used as leverage in a political game she never agreed to play. And now, she is rewriting the rules. Just as she prepares to move against the court, assassins strike. Seraphina survives, but the message is clear. Someone knows she is no longer a pawn. War brews in the corridors of power, and every ally she gains makes her more of a threat. Through ink, blade, and bloodless subterfuge, Seraphina prepares to dismantle the empire that once watched her burn. One forged document, one ruined house, one false oath at a time. The court believes she has been tamed. But Seraphina D’Lorien is no longer theirs to control. She is the flame reborn, and this time she decides who burns.

In a world divided by elemental bloodlines, magic is inherited, feared — and weaponized. Eira Virell, an exiled fireborn from the ruined Southern clans, carries a curse in her blood and a dangerous Mark across her skin — proof of a lineage blamed for a kingdom’s greatest tragedy. Hunted since childhood, she’s learned to survive in silence, suppressing her powers and shielding the secret that could doom her entire race. Prince Kael Vorenth, heir to the frost-ridden Northern Throne, is a Warden — elite hunter of rogue mages and enforcer of the crown’s brutal laws. Bound by duty, grief, and a sworn hatred for fireborns, Kael lives only for justice. But when an assassination attempt threatens his reign, he crosses paths with a mysterious woman whose presence melts through his discipline like flame through snow. What begins as a confrontation ignites into obsession. Drawn together by fate, prophecy, and a forbidden soulbond they do not understand, Eira and Kael find themselves entangled in a slow-burning, dangerous romance — one that could bring peace between their people… or trigger a war to end all realms. As kingdoms fall and ancient powers awaken, secrets unravel: Eira’s bloodline holds the key to an imprisoned god, and Kael’s soul is tied to her survival. Their love becomes a weapon — one that must either be tempered or unleashed. But love forged in fire is not easily controlled. And some flames were born to consume the world.

High school student Kiara Meitner is apart of the secret organization of Wardens. Her resolve is to protect the world from evil cursed spirits. Her relatively normal life is thrust upside down as she becomes of a large conspiracy far bigger than she thought she knew. As she is soul-bound with the living incarnation of war, they need to traverse the world they once knew. There are those who work in the shadows- many with not pure intentions. Everything she once knew will soon come to question. As the scales of justice tip, only one side of the conflict can ultimately survive. Will she defend her beliefs or will she let the revelations change the course of her fate forever.

They once called her Cinderella. A backhanded compliment for Seraphina Fell, the forgotten daughter of a fallen noble house—pretty enough to be admired, but never meant to stay. She thought love would save her. Until Alistair Ravenscroft, the second son of a Marquis and the man she trusted most, threw her aside for a political marriage… and didn’t even have the dignity to tell her himself. Broken, disgraced, and abandoned—Seraphina thought her story had ended. Then the King of the North appeared. Yuri Pendragon—Duke of the North, Warden of the Wyrmfrost, and living legend—stood before her with a single, devastating revelation: “You are my daughter.” Overnight, Seraphina went from a ruined nobody to the heir of a Duchy feared across the kingdom. But becoming a Pendragon meant more than wearing a name—it meant surviving it. Thrown into a brutal world of frost, monsters, and politics, Seraphina is forged in blade and ice, trained to succeed a man feared as much as he is revered. Years later, she returns stronger, colder… and with a plan. To take revenge on the man who once discarded her, she offers a contract engagement to his sickly, forgotten older brother—the true heir to the Marquisate. “I want an engagement with Lord Cassien.” “Then use me,” he says. “Just don’t hold back.” But as Seraphina and Cassien play the nobles’ game of power and vengeance, their alliance begins to thaw into something far more dangerous. Behind his silence lies a secret. Behind her armor, a heart that still remembers how to break. She was never Cinderella. She is the daughter of a dragon. And this is her legacy. Note:This is inspired to the webtoon I wasnt Cindirella

"I married you to destroy you." Auren Lys thought love could bloom from friendship. He believed that Damir Voss—his childhood companion and protector—married him out of affection. But behind Damir’s cold eyes hides a secret far darker than Auren ever imagined. Years ago, a tragedy tore their worlds apart. Damir’s family was shattered, and in his grief, he blamed only one person: Auren. To the world, they are a power couple—heir and heir, joined by fate. But inside their mansion, Auren is a prisoner in a silk cage, and Damir is the warden disguised as a husband. Every smile hides venom. Every touch carries punishment. Yet Auren, fragile and loyal, holds on to the boy he once knew—the boy who promised to protect him. But innocence doesn’t last forever. As lies unravel and truths surface, Auren begins to change. The boy Damir sought to break begins to fight back. Tender turns to sharp. Obedience becomes dominance. And Damir? He starts to fall for the fire he tried to extinguish.

When Kai, a jaded mobile game developer, wakes up in a medieval world unlike any history book, he's stunned to find monsters, magic, and mythical rulers at war. Vampires stalk the forests, dragons rule the skies, and ancient kings like Armand the Valiant, Queen Selene of the Sands, and Magnus Ironheart clash in a brutal age of conquest.

One wish. No more. No less. And always, a price. In every corner of the world, desperate souls stumble across the same ancient lamp—gleaming, timeless, and cursed. From forgotten tombs to rain-soaked alleyways, the Warden of Wishes waits patiently, offering a single miracle to those who dare to dream... or despair. But each wish comes with a cost. Fortune turns to ruin. Love becomes obsession. Hope breeds horror. Ryan Rhee, a young explorer seeking to save his family, becomes the first in a chain of tragic contractors. With every chapter, a new life crosses paths with the lamp—each driven by their own desires, and each caught in the web of consequences they never saw coming. Their stories are not connected by fate. They are connected by the Warden.

One night, he plugs his personal rig into a supposedly "dead" network port to watch pirated movies—and unknowingly hijacks control of the city’s most powerful black-ops AI, "Nyx Protocol." Now, the AI thinks Zeke is its new master. The mega-corps think he’s a revolutionary cyber-terrorist. The resistance believes he’s their messiah. Zeke? He just wants to survive his shift, eat cheap noodles, and maybe not get shot in the head.

When someone dies, where do they go? Well I sure hope they don't all end up like me. For years I worked as a prison doctor, hoping to finally retire. One small mistake and I am dead and forcefully reincarnated into another world. Did anyone ask me if I wanted to leave Earth? No. What's worse than that? I am stuck with the piece of crap called the Warden system. Cliche. "To live by the sword, and die by the sword" I guess is befitting here... Now I have to find my way back again.

The emperor is dead. The capital fractures. While princes scheme for the Fire Throne, one name stirs beyond the empire’s reach—Lorien, the exiled bastard. Sent north to die in ruin and snow, he survives. Learns. Builds.

After an ordinary life and uneventful death, Einar awakens in the Soul Society, a realm governing reincarnation, only to discover he’s bound to the power of the Void. Recruited as a Soul Warden, he must learn to wield this volatile force to protect the Grand Cycle from Gorok, an ancient entity intent on unmaking all existence. Alongside the energetic Zephyr, wielding the vibrant Radiant Flow, and under the tutelage of the haunted Warden Lyra, Einar’s journey will test his limits as they face cosmic threats and personal demons in a battle for the very fabric of being.

Brian Miller, a cynical and pragmatic data entry clerk, meets an unceremonious end in the back of an ambulance. But death is merely a new beginning. He awakens, reborn as an infant on Terra Nova, a world steeped in the fundamental energy of Qi. More astonishingly, a mysterious [Universal System] activates within his mind, granting him unparalleled insights and abilities. Trapped in a baby's body with an adult's sharp, analytical intellect, Brian quickly learns that Terra Nova is a realm of limited understanding, bound by a single energy "Origin." Yet, his System allows him to perceive and even cultivate higher, alien energies like Mana and Aether, making him an anomaly in a world that can barely comprehend basic Qi. To survive and thrive in this dangerous new reality, Brian adopts a cunning facade: he acts as an unassuming, quiet child, occasionally indulging his hidden prankster streak with subtle, undetectable energy manipulations that baffle those around him. Despite his genius, he remains socially dense, often offering perfectly logical but utterly incomprehensible observations that highlight the vast chasm between his cosmic understanding and the villagers' simple lives. As Brian secretly cultivates, expanding his personal universe within the [Genesis Void]—a pocket dimension where his will is absolute and time can be bent—he finds himself drawn into the escalating conflicts of Aethel. When the aggressive Blackwood Clan threatens his new home with a devastating [Earth-Binding Array], Brian must shed his passive role. He orchestrates a masterful, unseen counter-attack, dismantling their power with surgical precision and leaving them bewildered by an invisible force. But his actions create ripples. The defeat of the Blackwood Clan draws the attention of new, dangerous factions, and even The Silent Warden, a terrifying cosmic entity that eliminates "imbalance." Brian must navigate this treacherous landscape, using his unique powers, his strategic mind, and his mastery of unseen energies to outmaneuver threats that operate on scales far beyond conventional understanding. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and the tantalizing glimpses of [Origin Realm Insight] offered by his System, Brian's journey becomes a quest to unravel the very fabric of existence. He is not just a cultivator, but an unseen architect, manipulating the threads of power, causality, and even reality itself. In a universe where no one knows his true strength, Brian is poised to reshape not just a region, but perhaps, the very cosmic order of Aethel.

Magellans in the Van He lost everything to a lie. Now he’s chasing freedom across the world with a newfound lifelong companion. Sakurai Satoru had it all—a promising career as an android designer, a loving family, and a life he built with care. But when a forged photo tears his family apart, and his father remarries the woman behind the scheme, Satoru is trapped—inside a cage he let himself into. He tries to endure. He tried to find anything that could give him shortcuts to fix his life, to no avail. When the last person who gave him the last light in life is taken away from him, and empty promises of help lead only to more disappointment, an unexpected mentor he stumbled upon brings him the realization and a spark to find courage inside him and change his life with his own hands—along with some help on his side. What follows is a journey of truth, discovery, redemption, and one final act of rebellion: leaving behind everything that once binds him down. With his mother by his side once more, a reawakened heart, and an unforeseen companion he found along the path, Satoru sets out to reclaim his life—and the open road. A dramatic tale of betrayal, healing, and the quiet beginnings of love… all from the driver’s seat of a van built for a new world.

In the shadowed realm of Haldrith, where ancient trees bind countless worlds in their sprawling branches, the legendary Realm Tree Virelundra withers—its life blood tainted by creeping corruption from beyond the veil. The gods have long been silent, and only whispers remain of the forgotten deity Asvaldir, the Hollow Flame, whose name inspires fear and silence among the few who remember. Rowen Gravenmar, scion of a feared warlike noble house, has spent years fleeing the violent legacy that haunts his bloodline. Now a reluctant hunter in the wild borderlands, he survives by skill and instinct, seeking only to escape the shadow of his name. But when mysterious forces cross the veil and the enigmatic Wardens appear—tasked by the crown to guard the realm against threats from other worlds—Rowen’s fate shifts irrevocably. Drawn into a clandestine world of secret wars and fading magic, Rowen discovers that his true burden is far greater than escaping his past. Within his soul stirs the seed of Ellsyndrith, a new Realm Tree—one that may hold the only hope for preserving existence itself. Yet truths are not what they seem: Asvaldir’s return threatens to reduce the dying Virelundra to ash, and both hunter and god misinterpret each other’s desires in a dance of deception and fate. As realms decay and alliances fracture, Rowen must confront the echoes of war in his blood and the fragile promise of renewal before all that is sacred is consumed by flame.

In 2038, Full-Dive VR has transcended entertainment—it's a second life. At its pinnacle is Elysium Protocol, a virtual world promising unparalleled immersion. But on launch day, a million players vanish, their physical bodies left empty, their minds trapped in a digital prison with no log-out. What was hailed as humanity's ultimate escape has become a terrifying new reality, where death is permanent and time no longer obeys natural laws. Among them is Yuki Takasu, a genius-level intellect who despises games, forced into Elysium by his younger sister, Maya. As the game glitches into a fragmented, pulsing world, Yuki discovers he's been granted "Chrono-Void"—a unique, unstable ability that distorts time and hints at the underlying code of their digital cage. When a chilling message appears—"Initiating Loop Cycle: 001"—Yuki realizes this isn't just a prison; it's a terrifying, repeating experiment. Now, with his sister's fate tied to the game's darkest secrets and a mysterious Warden hunting players for an unknown purpose, Yuki must unravel the twisted code of Elysium Protocol. To find Maya and break the endless "Loop," the boy who hated games must now master a power that defies reality itself, before their digital afterlife becomes a permanent, inescapable end.

Ashen Wu was once feared across the realms as the only cultivator to defy the heavens and live. That life ended in fire—by divine decree. But fate isn’t finished with him yet. Reborn in the body of a worthless sect slave, Ashen awakens the remnants of the Heaven-Eating Scripture, a forbidden path said to consume the heavens themselves. His new root is not made to gather qi—it devours it. Each enemy he kills, each spiritual root he consumes, makes him stronger. But the heavens are watching. And so is Sovereign Yama, the immortal Heaven-Warden who once ordered Ashen’s execution and now hunts him across lifetimes. Ashen Wu will rise again - but this time, he won’t stop at revenge. He will eat heaven itself.
